In summary, an economist can learn valuable principles and concepts from the field of physics, such as the importance of mathematical modeling, the role of data and experimentation, and the understanding of complex systems. Additionally, the use of theories and laws in physics can be applied to economic theories and models, providing a more robust and accurate understanding of the economy. The study of physics can also help economists develop critical thinking skills and enhance their ability to analyze and predict economic behavior. Overall, the integration of physics principles into economics can lead to a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to studying and solving economic problems.

My name is Gustavo, and I'm an economist (MsC), but very curious about many subjects in Physics, so I'm joining the fórum to learn a little bit and, hopefully, be able to help someone in the future.
